Spiritual Inquiry Workshop

A live, 3.5-hour session to move from re-orientation into genuine inquiry and re-grounding.

The Guided Taste or Live Taste gave you a fly-over of the Waking Up territory - four stories from different traditions, each pointing at the same ground, and a first look at the Mother Story beneath them all. This Workshop is where the looking gets direct.

Saturday 5 December 2026 13:30-17:00 UK time €97 founding rate

What this is

A guided exploration, not a longer lecture

Over one live, guided session, you’ll look from several perspectives at your own experience, shaking loose certainty to make room for re-cognition. This isn’t a longer lecture. It’s a guided exploration, with live facilitation and generous question and discussion time.

This is the first-ever running of the SI Workshop - you’d be part of the founding cohort, shaping how this session develops going forward.

Before you join

Come as you are, from any tradition or none

No preparation is required and no background is assumed. If you’ve already watched the Guided Taste videos, bring whatever arose - questions, resistances, glimpses, confusions. All of it is useful material.

Who it’s for

People ready to look directly, not read about looking

This is Spiritual Inquiry content specifically - the Waking Up work of recognising what you already are, not the Growing Up work of updating an outdated map. Same material every cohort, so if you are arriving cold you are not missing a prerequisite.

The Guided Taste or Live Taste named something you’d already half-sensed but couldn’t quite articulate
You want direct inquiry into your own experience, not more philosophy
You are willing to sit with whatever arises - clarity, resistance, confusion, or a question that won’t resolve
You can protect three and a half hours without checking your phone
You would rather be guided through this live than work alone from a recording

What the session covers

The shape of the afternoon

A brief body-work primer to settle into the work before the inquiry begins
Exploring the doors - four ways out of the Old Story, and room for more
A guided look at the Mother Story: Being, Expressing, Experiencing as a single structure
Direct inquiry into your own experience - not philosophy, but looking at what’s actually here
The distinction between self-recognition and self-realisation, and how to bring the body with the mind
Sitting with whatever arises - clarity, resistance, confusion, or the particular discomfort of a question that won’t resolve - with more space and depth than the Taste allows
A protected close: time to integrate what’s surfaced, plus space to hear about continuing 1-to-1 if that’s useful

The room

Private by design

Three and a half hours live online, 13:30 to 17:00 UK time
Facilitated throughout, with time set aside for the inquiry itself, not just talk about it
No camera and no microphone required - take part entirely via chat if you prefer
Chat reaches Doug only - never the other participants, and only Doug sees what you write
Nobody sees who else is there

The privacy is deliberate, not a limitation. Over three and a half hours you will be asked to look at things you may never have said aloud, and that is far easier in a room where nobody can see you and nobody is performing. You get live facilitation without the exposure of a group.

Date and price

Saturday 5 December 2026

€97 founding cohort

Regular price thereafter: €147

The SI Workshop is oriented toward inquiry and orientation rather than practical tool-building, and the founding rate reflects both the nature of the session and the aim of making the Waking Up pathway accessible to people earlier in their Inner Frontier journey. It applies to this first cohort on 5 December 2026 only.

If the Guided Taste or Live Taste named something you’d already half-sensed but couldn’t quite articulate, this is where you work with it directly.

Places are limited - this is a working session, not a broadcast to a crowd. Booking and payment are handled by Luma.

Come as you are, from any tradition or none. That’s the only preparation needed.

New to this work? Spiritual Inquiry: A Live Taste runs free on 23 October - ninety minutes, and a good way to find out whether this is for you before paying for the longer session.

What comes next

If an afternoon is not enough

Three and a half hours is enough to look directly, several times over. It is not enough to walk the whole territory, and for some people the Workshop makes that obvious rather than disappointing - they leave knowing what they actually want is to keep going.

That is the one-to-one Spiritual Inquiry work: your own pace, over months rather than an afternoon. Read about working with Doug directly, or reply to the email you receive after the session.
